Geek Blog – Math Geek Love Equation
This is for the GeekWife; I’ve been on the road from work for quite some time and now that I’m back, want to show her a token of appreciation. She’s a bit of Math Geek, and she loved the Harold and Kumar Root 3 Poem, so here goes:

Geek Blog – Mega Man Alphabet
My good friend, James posted this to my Facebook wall yesterday. The video will be on the Little Geek’s iPod as soon as I get home from the office. Poor Roll, stuck with the broom.
Geek Blog – Middle English Rap
We’ve seen Shatner rap Shakespeare, and Klenginem rap in Klingon; this video takes it. The cake, that is. Red Yak produced the video (read the story here) and posted it under the YouTube user name veryredyak. The rhythm of Middle English really lends itself to a hip-hop medium, and Chaucer’s epic Canturbury Tales is poetic, hence the rhyming aspect. For my Word Origins/Linguistics course (medieval literature major) in college, part of my final was memorizing, and reciting (properly, which these guys to wonderfully) the General Prologue from the Tales.
Enjoy the video. There will be a direct translation after the jump.
Geek Blog – Lyrics for the Final Fantasy Theme
We all make up words for songs we hear on the radio. Some of us, even make up words for symphonic pieces. Gene Roddenberry devised (demised?) lyrics for his original Star Trek. The creme de la geek make up lyrics for popular video game themes.
YT user, brentalfloss put together this nice remix with lyrics. The Star Trek theme in action, after the jump.
Autumn
Autumn
The autumn road awaits, my dear.
Come walk with me, my son.
The autumn road awaits us,
We’ll seek adventure and fun.
Into the woods, let’s roam,
Off the beaten path.
The love and warmth of home
Will always bring us back.
The road ahead is open
And life’s adventure waits.
Let’s journey down together;
A family as one.
Geek Blog – Science, Music and Metaphysics
Take a moment and think about the Universe. I’ll let these videos speak for themselves.
A Glorious Dawn, featuring Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking
We Are All Connected featuring Carl Sagan, Richard Feynman, Bill Nye, Neil degrasse Tyson
Big thanks to youtube user melodysheep. More info (including MP3 format and lyrics can be found at The Symphony of Science.

Geek Blog – Klenginem: SuvwI’pu’ qan tu’lu’be
So, I thought that William Shatner’s rap video was weird. Not to mention the techno remix of his “climbing a mountain” interview. This takes the cake. Eminem’s “Without You”: in Klingon! Now we need someone to cover 50 cent in Tolkein Quenya.
Thanks to Klenginem!

Geek Blog – Shatner Raps
William Shatner is a very interesting person. Or, perhaps, he’s an alien. The jury is still out on that one. In any case, he’s an actor that has no problems taking risks. First interracial onscreen kiss. Mocking the audience who helped fuel his rise to iconism with a harsh, “Get a life!” A musical version of Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” with him rapping all the parts.
Uhm, what?!?!
You read that right, William Shatner: space exploring, where no man has gone before-ing, womanizing, halt-talking Captain Kirk himself – rapping on stage in iambic pentameter.
Granted, it was a sketch within the movie Free Enterprise, but still!
